Events in Town

[Oh Buoy]

Exploring the possibility of setting up a weekend event in town. Does anyone have any experience of event planning or have any useful contacts that would help get this idea out of my head and in some form of tangible plan?

Think you need to contact the local council if it's a public event over a weekend so Id start there.

Approach Culture Liverpool’s dedicated events team. I’d just ask for a general outline without giving your ideas away.

Might be a bit of a tangent depending on what you’re planning but look up Independent Liverpool and maybe get in touch with them?
 

They represent a lot of the restaurant and bar scene, and run a loyalty card scheme. If the event needs catering a couple of food stalls from some of the quality places would be decent. 
 

Maybe try and find out the organisers behind things like the Christmas Markets by St. George’s Hall, the Smithdown Festival or Granby Markets, and approach them for some advice. 
 

There are a lot of hoops to jump through for public events like risk assessments, security and bathroom facilities but I reckon you could find that out easily enough with the help from Culture Liverpool. 
 

Good luck mate!

Was involved with the Xmas markets myself and the Council have passed the contract onto a firm called Clarke Events.

 

If it's a music or meeting thing, quite a few bars have upstairs rooms etc for hire and would give advice like The Casa on Hope St

It'll probably involve making a generous donation to the third Mersey Tunnel workers' benevolent fund.
